Item 1. Changes in Control of the Registrant.
------------------------------------
(a) On March 11, 1994, Jorge L. Mas, Jorge Mas, Juan Carlos Mas
and Jose Ramon Mas acquired in the aggregate approximately 65% of the
outstanding common stock of the Registrant in exchange for all of the issued
and outstanding common stock of Church & Tower of Florida, Inc. ("CTF"), and
Church & Tower, Inc. ("CT"), each a Florida corporation, pursuant to an
Agreement dated October 15, 1993, as amended by the First Amendment, the
Second Amendment and the Third Amendment (collectively, the "Agreement").
To the extent that these individuals act in concert, they will be able to
control the election of the Board of Directors of the Registrant and to effect
certain fundamental corporate transactions.
Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
------------------------------------
(a) As a result of the acquisition of all of the outstanding
common stock of CT and CTF pursuant to the Agreement, the Registrant
indirectly acquired all of the assets of CT and CTF. A more detailed
description of the principles followed in determining the consideration given
and received by the Registrant is contained in the Registrant's Definitive
Proxy Statement previously filed on February 10, 1994 (the "Definitive Proxy
Statement").
There are no material relationships between the members of the
Mas family described in Item 1 and the Registrant other than as described in
the Definitive Proxy Statement.
(b) CT and CTF provide a broad range of services to the
telecommunications industry and are engaged in providing construction and
design services to government and industry, in South Florida. The Registrant
intends that both CT and CTF shall continue to conduct their businesses as
presently conducted. A more detailed description of the respective businesses
of CT and CTF and of the background of the Acquisition is contained in the
Definitive Proxy Statement.
Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
--------------------------------------------
(a) On March 11, 1994, Deloitte & Touche was terminated as the
Registrant's independent accountant. The Audit Committee of the Registrant's
Board of Directors met to consider a replacement and unanimously
recommended to the Board of Directors that Price Waterhouse be retained as
the Registrant's new independent accountant. The Board of Directors
considered and approved this recommendation, and Price Waterhouse was
retained as the Registrant's independent accountant, on March 11, 1994.
None of the reports of Deloitte & Touche on the financial
statements of the Registrant filed for each of the past two fiscal years
contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or were qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent
interim period preceding the resignation of Deloitte & Touche, there was
no disagreement between the Registrant and Deloitte & Touche on any matter
of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure which would have caused Deloitte & Touche to
have made reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection
with its reports, and no reportable event as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K occurred.
(b) Prior to retaining Price Waterhouse, the Registrant did not
consult Price Waterhouse regarding the application of accounting principles
to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of
audit that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements, or
the existence or non-existence of disagreements with the Registrant's former
independent accountants, or the occurrence of a reportable event.
